One of our dear friends, D. Scott Hessels, has recently installed a public art piece in his native Grand Rapids called "The Image Mill". The piece is an enormous steel zoetrope powered by water and installed in the fountain of the Gerald R Fold Museum. It is an amazing piece!
A video of the installation and the piece in action is here.
Scott is making regular updates on
The Image Mill facebook page. The piece is also one of several pieces that are competing for the ArtPrize.
